Military and police are fighting to save their country in the Sinai fighting off over 500 heavily armed extremist rebels from various countries and terrorist organizations who want to enter Egypt and bring their violence to show support for the MB - who are known for their violence. The same organization that Obama supported. The same "rebels" that Obama wants to arm.
I guess you don't know that what is happening is not about religion. It is not Sunni v. sh.ite or Muslim v. Christians. The Christians are out there supporting the anti-Morsi Muslims. It's about democracy. Those who want it, and those who don't want it but want to install extreme Islamic law and have a one party rule over the country.
It amazes me that people who don't even know what is going on in their own country, seem to be far more knowledgeable about what is going on in other countries.
I know one universal truth the muslimes are fighting themselves all the time, one suicide bomber at a time..
Syria: civil war
Iraq: civil war
soon to be, Egypt civil war..
the factions over there just can't seem to live together without some kind of internal war.. if you clean a septic tank out there will always be crap left over,, it's hard to thoroughly clean a sheet hole..
The obvious move is to cut off ALL foreign aid to Egypt, which should have been done several regimes ago.
A quote from Ron Paul comes to mind... "Why am I the only one on the stage who thinks it madness that we're giving Pakistan billions of dollars a year in tax payer money and bombing them simultaneously?"
Its a pure mess and democracy is dead there. Its just a nation of power by voting with the gun and violence. Military cop the Obama administration is even afraid to say the words to avoid our law on aid. Kind of like Clinton on oral sex not being sex.

any place that is governed by dickorators should not get funding.!!!
Egypt gets $1.3 Billion per the 1979 Treaty and it goes directly to the military who is required to spend it all in the US. Refunding that would hurt working Americans.
but Obama also forgave a $1 Billion loan. So how do we now un-forgive it?
What most people don't know is that their fellow Arab countries were not going to give them free money . They were going to loan them money at 5% interest with numerous strings.
And Congress and the President still haven't decided if this was a "military coupe" that would cut off all funding.
Even if they did. All it does is cut out everything in excess of the $1.3 Billion and the loan guarantees they get since neither is part of the USAID budget.
It's rather circular...
If the U.S. were to withhold aid, it would trigger the cancellation of defense contracts which means increased unemployment of U.S. defense industry workers and businesses that support them, which leads to increased unemployment and other welfare benefits, which means states have to pay out money they don't have, which means they need to borrow from the federal government who deficit spends to make those loans.
The entire defense industry is totally dependent on federal government spending, including foreign aid. The ripple effect has an enormous impact.
I cant believe earlier post is defending more war bcs 'poor defense contractors need jobs'.
This must be the new mantra for those supporting even MORE illegal wars and war crimes.
